This report has, for the first time, got some of this data! Some of this is shocking: 20% of all kids in secure settings come from only SIX SCHOOLS! And 5% come from THE SAME SCHOOL!

Jess, sorry to disappoint but Somalians living in London isn’t the reason we have the current Social Housing crisis we are faced with. It’s the fact consecutive governments failed to invest in council house building which coincided with them selling off the little council housing stock we did have over the last 30 years. There are 1.3 million people waiting for social housing including 151,000 homeless kids, despite this fact, last year government only built 700 new social homes and year on year we are knocking down and selling off more homes than we are building. That’s where your anger should be directed, not Somalian’s or any other minority group needing a roof over their head for that matter.
In London, there are over 300,000 on a waiting list for social housing. Almost half of social housing is headed by a foreign born person. For example, 73.9% of Somalis in London live in social housing. Why are people who can’t afford to live in Britain moving to the country in the first place? And why is the British government promoting immigration from those who can’t afford to live here?

1 in 20 libraries have closed since 2016. The most deprived areas are 4x more likely to lose a library - even though they offer tech access to those in digital poverty, company to the alone, and education for families. Please support your local library. Our communities need them. – at Redcar, England

Analysis of NHS data shows that more than 500 children a day in England are referred to NHS mental health services for anxiety - more than double the rate before the pandemic. It is clear that urgent action is needed to address children's mental health⬇️ theguardian.com/society/arti…

The temperature needs resetting. The language around this all is way is too heated. Too tense. Community organisers are doing everything we can to calm things down but we need our politicians to pull through. Pull through.
